  <title>A New Beginning</title>
  <link>http://polaroid-print.livejournal.com/21836.html</link>
  <description>Now when I turned 18, maturity seeps in.&amp;nbsp;I look back and see how&amp;nbsp;I have lived my life. I cannot deny that there has been many ups and downs, fun times and sad/angry times. But at the end of the day,&amp;nbsp;I think and realised &amp;nbsp;many people come and go, but many friendships/relationships have faced the test and remained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To get to where I am today, many sacrifices have been&amp;nbsp;made. I&apos;m not saying sacrifices are a bad thing. In fact, 18 years on this earth have taught me that to hold onto better things, many good things must go. I&apos;ve seen how God worked in my life, giving and taking things away from me. Sadness is there&amp;nbsp;of course, but good things still come my way. God plans things for us that prosper us instead of harming us. We, humans, are definitely unable to see what is absolute&amp;nbsp;good and&amp;nbsp;bad therefore, we are unable to decide&amp;nbsp;what is&amp;nbsp;right for us. We need a higher being, God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t ask for complicated things. I&apos;m happy with a simple life. This is another lesson learnt from growing up. A few good friends, fun memories is probably all I ask for. I just want a good life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;The most important living things in my life&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;WIDTH: 291px; HEIGHT: 217px&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/0002wydb/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;WIDTH: 276px; HEIGHT: 218px&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/00032he3/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/0002zde6/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/0002sebq/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/0002tcrb/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/0002y2dh/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/00030ayh/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/000335gf/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/0002x3k3/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/00031f94/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;304&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/polaroid_print/pic/00031f94/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My best friend, Jia.
